Chamber of Commerce.

On the local board there was a large at
tendance, but very little business was done
until the last half hour. Sellers were hold
ing for Saturdays figures, and at first buyers
refused to pay it. City millers did but little
buying, most of the grain being taken by
shippers. Receipts for the two days were
693 cars, with 4O7 at Duluth. Shipments
from here were 90. The increase of 1885,
S11 bushels in the visible supply was below
expectations. Local stock increased S27,
9S5 bushels, but Duluth decreased 100000.

is not especially active at the beginning of
the week owing to the small output caused
by short water supply. Prices hold steady to-
day. The outcome of the week will TO some
| extent depend upon the course of wheat. If
that market is to hold its improved position
there is good reason that a further gain may
| be made in -four There is low water re-
| ported in most mill streams in the country,
! and il is reasonable TO suppose that with the
| further short supply consequent upon freeZ-
ing weather the output of flour will be small.
| That with light stocks to go into the winter
with, will be felt in winter prices.
Bran and shorts-This market holds stiff,
| with large inquiry both West and East
| Reports from all around show that stocks
| are unusually small with an unusually large
| demand. Prices have gone to a point now
where other feed may be substituted with a
| gain to the consumer. Still, ii looks as if
| prices will be pretty strong all winter. Bran,
